“Champollion deciphered the wrinkled granite hieroglyphics. But there is no Champollion to decipher the Egypt of every man's and every being's face. Physiognomy, like every other human science, is but a passing fable. If then, Sir William Jones, who read in thirty languages, could not read the simplest peasant's face in its profounder and more subtle meanings, how may unlettered Ishmael hope to read the awful Chaldee of the Sperm Whale's brow? I but put that brow before you. Read it if you can.”
― Herman Melville , Moby-Dick or, The Whale

“Marvelous is the love and fellowship of the flesh and the soul, of the spirit of life
and the mud of the earth: for the whole man may be said to be formed from these
two conjoined. For thus it is written: “God made man from the mud of the earth,
and breathed the breath of life into his face ”[Genesis 2:7], giving him sense and
intellect, so that through sense he might vivify the clay associated with him, and
through intellect rule it; that likewise he might enter inwardly through the intellect
and contemplate the wisdom of God, and outwardly through the sense behold the
works of his wisdom. God illuminated the intellect from within but adorned the
sense without, so that the whole man might find recreation in both, namely felicity
within and enjoyment without. But since outward things cannot last long, man is
bidden to turn from the things without to the things within and to ascend from the
things within to the things above, that is to say from sense to imagination, from
imagination to reason, from reason to intellect, thence to mind or intelligence and
thus to God.”
